Greetings, Users. Our system may be experiencing some residual glitches from a recent network malfunction. Our technical team is working on getting these issues under control. Please direct any concerns in the meantime to the HR department at humanresources@retrospec.com.

Our staff has furthermore noticed a significant increase in tags and trends for #aprilfools and #pranks. Keep on your toes and be certain to tag your best tricks for Retrospec™!

Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Any emails sent to the HR department will be returned with a failure to send notification, and will furthermore automatically be posted to the Retrospec network. Oops?

Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures.

Glitches will be in effect until the 15th and may include:
-Usernames changing to a cat, dog, or bird pun.
-The Retrospec application being changed into a neon color + animal theme of some variety.
-Notifications going off at random and being unable to be turned off.
-Various "special effects" crossing the screens when people comment.
-Users having to beat a level of pac-man to access the application, and then being made to beat a new level every hour to keep using the application.
-Thomas the Tank Engine memes being sent to users every hour for some reason.
-Profile pictures being replaced by pictures of rabbits and easter eggs.
-New creepy pasta stories appearing upon log-in, to be forwarded to someone before the app can continue to be used
-Parental lock and auto-correct on cursing (i.e. fuck -> duck)
-A parade of pixel Chocobos or dancing fruit scrolling across the screen after each comment posted

Maya Aidoggo Wait, they HAVE a technical team?!
Maya Aidoggo And an email address?!
Maya Aidoggo ...WHAT HAPPENED TO MY NAME
Maya Aidoggo AND WHY IS THE APP BRIGHT NEON PINK although I guess the bunny theme is cute even if this is kind of mean with the stuff that's been flying through my head.

Rachat Hishimura Why do I have a feeling the email address is another trap?
Rachat Hishimura ... Wait, my name is different too!

Edited 2017-04-02 01:19 (UTC)

Maya Aidoggo I mean, I guess there's only one way to find out, right?
Maya Aidoggo ...why does everyone else get cute names...

Rachat Hishimura Eh? I don't know, Aidoggo is pretty cute? I mean, dogs aren't cute as cats, but it's still not bad!

[Ah yes, Rachel's preference for cats over dogs rears its head again...]

Maya Aidoggo No, no, dogs are fine!
Maya Aidoggo But I'd want something more like ... "May-wan"

[Yes, she's thought about this.]

Rachat Hishimura ... Oh my god.

Maya Aidoggo ...?????
Maya Aidoggo is something wrong??

Rachat Hishimura No nothing's wrong!
Rachat Hishimura "May-wan" is just
Rachat Hishimura Kind of super adorable?

Maya Aidoggo ...oh!
Maya Aidoggo Well, that's the idea right??? o(^▽^)o
Maya Aidoggo Like I said! Something cute!

Vellark Tartine What's worse, the bright colors, the pac man, or the cartoon train

Maya Aidoggo Pac-Man! It takes too long when you're in a hurry!

Vellark Tartine Ghosts are stupid fudgers who need to die faster

Edited 2017-04-04 18:32 (UTC)

Maya Aidoggo ...I wonder what happens to a ghost when it dies.

Maya Aidoggo BUT HOW DO YOU KILL A GHOST

Velouria Tartine Carefully

Maya Aidoggo I'd think that was a given.

Alicnya Clover I too am surprised, given our previous attempts. The theme is also horribly garish, though mine is an eye-searing yellow.
Alicnya Clover -ah. My name as well...

Maya Aidoggo Oh, oh! What animal is yours?

[is that really what's important]

Maya Aidoggo At least your name is cute, mine just looks kind of dumb.

Alicnya Clover A cat, I believe? The Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat's purr is "nya" or thereabouts.
Alicnya Clover Yours didn't change your given name, at least. Heaven forbid I try to make acquaintances while it's like this, they'll never find me again once everything changes back.

[A beat.]

Alicnya Clover Oh, you meant what theme mine was? I think it's a teddy bear. It's cute, but I can't really read anything for long periods.

Edited 2017-04-03 04:01 (UTC)

Maya Aidoggo Oh yeah, of course! That's why it's cute!
Maya Aidoggo ...but at least then you'd have a cute nickname! Look on the bright side!

[...]

Maya Aidoggo Yellow... teddy bear...
Maya Aidoggo ...
Maya Aidoggo These people are mean.

Alicnya Clover It seems a little forced? And I'd rather something shorter anyway, if someone were to go that route.
Alicnya Clover Not that I'm seeking submissions at the moment, mind you! I like my name well enough as it is.

Alicnya Clover A normal bear probably wouldn't have been the kind of theme they were going for... maybe?
Alicnya Clover Still, the color removes most of the appeal.

[She thought about getting a set of those yellow glasses for computer eye strain, but then she realized the theme was itself yellow and she just wouldn't see anything well.]

Maya Aidoggo ...you realize it's a good thing you said that second thing.
Maya Aidoggo because I was already typing ideas

[MAYA CAN GIVE YOU A CUTE NICKNAME, ALICIA.]

Maya Aidoggo Well, at least we're properly color coded. I GUESS?

Edited 2017-04-04 06:15 (UTC)

Alicnya Clover I. I suppose I can hear ideas...? [She's not sure how the kicked puppy look is being communicated through text, but she definitely senses it.]

Alicnya Clover I suppose we are, at that. I would be interested to know if Rachel and Melody are the same.

[It's just another in the long list of skills she clearly didn't realize she has.]

Maya Aidoggo Ali-cat!
Maya Aidoggo ...that's probably actually the best I've got.
